Do tell?!

Back from holiday = Bad

Holiday was awesome = Good

All your birthday wishes = Even more AWESOME. Thank you.

Yuletide story has been FINISHED* and is off to beta #2 = Wicked awesome. I am so pleased I may write another. Or maybe I will write [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 something to thank her for my most crazy wicked awesome (yes, I’m on a awesome kick) birthday story evar Sir Brad the Dragon Slayer! That’s right! Brad! Slaying DRAGONS! [does Snoopy dance] Read eeet! Then you can thank me. And her. Mostly her. ETA: [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 posted my second birthday story NATE THE PIMP NO. That's not a typo. Inorite?!

*Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] thisisbone because her saying she was done basically motivated me to get off my ass and sort it out.


Also, I have a whole lot of emails entitled ‘Anderson/Michael Phelps’ I cannot begin to tell you how fast I thought somebody had written that or that people wanted me to write it and then I found out that Anderson was totally using his media powers on 60 Minutes to perv on Michael Phelps and I laughed for a very very long time. Oh, Anderson, never change. Even George approves of this one.

It appears my entire flist has exploded in a stream of Merlin confetti. I know it’s bad because I was reading some this morning and LIKING IT and I don’t even know what it’s about. I mean I have an idea but my reference points are The Once and Future King and Sword in the Stone. Only gayer than S1 Smallville apparently. I cave. Where can I start watching?

Today I plan to write something. Yeah, I dunno what. That’s all I got.

I totally missed your birthday! Fuck! Well, here, have a cupcake; I hope it's not stale.

And yay for motivation, even though I'm confident you'd have worked up the enthusiasm even without me twirling around in circles going, "I'm DONE! I'm DONE!"

Anderson was totally perving on MP -- you can't tell me AC didn't plan that whole pool bit just so he could get in the locker room with him. And Michael's like, "Whatever, dude. I'm used to adoration. What else you got?"

I'm very much looking forward to Merlin, though I will be, as always, late to the party.

Baby, stale cupcakes are A-OK since my [livejournal.com profile] yuletide story is done. I like the story so much I considered just posting it and then writing something else for my recipient, but no, I shall be strong. And Anderson was NOT slick. He just happened to have those swim trunks with him? Ninja please! Actually, no, he's definitely not a ninja. But he was hysterically funny.

Merlin! I am now on episode two of Merlin. Merlin looks like a baby, skinny James Marsden. I wouldn't do him myself, but he and Arthur are very snarky together and there's a matchmatching dragon. I want to AU them stat. I had a moment where I though that they were like Ray K and Fraser, but in Camelot. Really.

You would be in distinguished company. The fandom has already spawned a fratboy AU, a fashionista AU, a hospital AU, and god, I don't know. CRACK: it's what's for dinner. Camelot: it is a silly place!

Also, this show has had me quoting Monty Python far too much.

Personally, I blame [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock because I was fine and then she was all, LOOK! Arthur is the Prince of Wales and I was like, "wait, what? Okay, fine I will watch the source material."

I've already hollered at [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 to get watching stat so she can start flinging AU ideas at me to see what sticks.

I told her that the best way to watch this was to forget everything you know about Camelot and just think of it as a show with two boys who just happened to be named Arthur and Merlin.
